Good to meet some new faces today and the old ones again :happy2:.Was bloomin hot today as well.
Highlights for me today were finding out that Newton Commercial have finished the MKII Golf carpets, getting to sit in all the MK6's & Roccos, buying more detailing products(great serv from autoperfection again) had some good chats with VW Racing  :happy2: to RR for introducing me to one of their guys :happy2:.really liked the sun visors that were on Hedge's Ed30 def going to get a set of them. Phil's carbon wrap has convinced me to get some done to. 
Its official I hate the M1 and crazy zigzagging bikers.

What a time I had!!  :jumpmove:

Camping over with Joe, Jay, Steph, Kim and Adam was hilarious, it got a bit silly after a few too many beers and a rave tent got mixed into the equation!  :signLOL:

Great to see all the usual faces and meet a few new ones  :happy2:

I lost my strip virginity today and I gotta say im hooked! I had the car revo'd whilst down there and the way it performed on the strip made my day. Im gonna sound like im blowing my own trumpet here but I need to share my excitement!

My first run I came up against an R32 Turbo from the JBS stable. I managed to leave him off the start and he never caught up, I won that one by about four car legnths! 

Times (Run 1)

0-60 - 4.92 secs
1/4 Mile - 13.497 secs

My second run was the worst of the day, car bogged BIG TIME on the line and the Seat something or other I was racing left me. I
managed to have him by the end of the 1/4 mile.

Times (Run 2)

0-60 - 5.82 secs
1/4 Mile - 14.435 secs

My last run saw me coming up an RS6 Avant that had been revo'd, exhaust, intake etc etc. I had already conceeded defeat on the line. I managed to get a good start using launch control as did he. For some reason or other I left him straight away gaining about two car legnths. It stayed like that until the last few seconds of the run where he started to gain a little, I still managed to pip him by a car legnth, I could not believe it!  :evilgrin:

Times (Run 3)

0-60 - 4.72
1/4 Mile - 13.284

I liked the car Tom I would keep the alloys as they are :happy2: Revo seems to be the future nothing better than a new map and some 1/4 mile sprints.

Highlights for me today were finding out that Newton Commercial have finished the MKII Golf carpets

Oh god, my best mate spent over £400 on that stand today, full carpet set, door cards and leather bits for his MK1, and then a rear screen and seals at Crazy Quiffs!

Wow the weather was hot hot hot!  I checked the weather and they all said rain so I wore a jacket and jeans...big mistake as I'm still red from heat exhaustion!

It was a very good show, my only criticism is that the club stands were in a silly place behind the trade stands...once you got onto the airfield you kinda forgot about the club cars!

What bargains did you all get?  I got a complete "smokers pack" ashtray assembly with a mesh type surround and lid for £5 and a brand new Votex rear valance for £70.

And what was everyones car of the show?  I was torn between a very nice early white MK1 Golf and a blue MK1 Derby.  I've wanted a Derby for years, and that one fuelled my passion even more!

I know it's not a dub but I loved that gold trans-am. Gorgeous!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

This was my fist VW show and if i'm honest I was dissapointed. I've only ever been to RS shows before, some regional but mainly national day so i guess thats what i'm juding it against. The trade stands were a little bit poor and it was scattered all over the place. The sprint action was very good but it got too hot to stand there. The Mk1 GOlf was quick as were the JBS R32's.

The quality of the show and shine cars was dissapointing too, some were nice but most were a little tatty certainly not what I expected. I missed the club stand, i guess you were stuck right out of the way, the most impressive thing of the day ..... the bucaneer being fired up on the taxi way :)

good to see Vtec Abuser made it there and meet you Ben, assuming footwear may have been a hinderence  :happy2:

Nice to meet you too mate and seems like you're well happy with being another member to join the Revo stable..  :wink: Footwear didn't hinder me at all in the end as I did it bare foot..  :grin: But for some reason when I changed up to 2nd it upshifted twice to 3rd and ruined the run..  :sad: Still did a 5.7 and 13.8 (IIRC) without using 2nd gear, so shows John's car has got some serious shove, especially as he has the right software now  :laugh: :signLOL:.
On a serious note though I would just like to say a big thanks to John for letting me do his last run and was great to be back behind the wheel of a Ed30, just didn't want to give it back and had my bottom lip out all the way home..  :grin:
Show for me was one of the best i've been to and I didn't even have my car. Mixture of some nice motors, good strip action, cracking weather and really good to see everyone again  :happy2:
I have some vids that I will put up soon of a few of you guys. Oh and I have to take my hat off to Tom too, awesome times mate and was proper funny watching you dust that RS6..  :grin:

Yes they are and its Cohiba's car, also hiding behind the rims he had a brand new set of Tarox 1000 pot big Fook off stoppers. which looked amazing. I am not jealous in the slightest, and just so everyone knows i got first dibs if he ever sells them.  :laugh:
